Walking Through Walls: The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics
A lecture by Paul Cadden-Zimansky, Physics Program
Friday, October 10, 2025 12 pm
Brody Lab - Hegeman 107 This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to three scientists for their experimental demonstration of “macroscopic quantum tunnelling.” In this talk, intended for a general audience, we’ll explain the 100-year history of the walking-through-walls phenomenon of “quantum tunneling” and how decades of research moved the observation and control of this process from single subatomic particles to macroscopic objects. We’ll also discuss how the Nobel-prize winning experiments have led to a billion-dollar rush by companies, governments, and two of the three laureates to use this process to build quantum computers capable of solving otherwise intractable problems.Sponsored by: Physics Program.

RKC 111 Feeling Data: Art in Pursuit of Social Change explores the intersection of science, data, and visual art as a means of confronting the climate crisis and inspiring collective action. Drawing from personal experiences in the Pacific Northwest and the American Southwest, Tyler W. Green’s practice transforms data sets, climate records, and mapping tools into conceptual frameworks for photography and installation. By pairing empirical evidence with emotional resonance, his work exposes the hidden scars of industrial logging, intensifying wildfires, prolonged drought, and the loss of old-growth forests. Projects such as illuminating ancient stumps, creating artificial dust clouds, and painting climate data onto fire-scarred landscapes bridge measurable realities with felt experience, translating scientific knowledge into human terms. This fusion of art and science not only documents environmental change but also creates a space for grief, empathy, and reflection, making complex issues more accessible while challenging audiences to engage in difficult conversations. By embedding scientific data into artistic practice, Green demonstrates how art can humanize abstract information, expand the reach of science communication, and serve as a catalyst for awareness, trust, and meaningful social change.Sponsored by: Computer Science Program.

Brody Lab - Hegeman 107 Building large-scale quantum computers has become a global priority, with over $49 billion invested worldwide. Their potential spans from breaking RSA encryption, which underpins most digital security, to accelerating drug discovery and advancing climate solutions. But how does one actually build such a machine? This talk will explore this question as a pedagogical introduction for undergraduate students: what a quantum computer is, why it matters, and how it can be constructed.Sponsored by: Physics Program.

Immigrant Youth Identity and Resistance in an Anti-Immigrant Context
A lecture by Andrea Negrete, Wesleyan University
Thursday, October 30, 2025 4 pm
Preston Theater Immigrant youth are subjected to marginalization based on their immigration status, ethnic-racial identity, and other intersecting social positions. Yet, they also actively resist social injustice in their everyday lives. In this talk, Dr. Negrete will present research on both the material and psychological consequences of anti-immigrant contexts. She will also explore how the broader sociopolitical climate surrounding immigration shapes immigrant youths’ ethnic-racial identity and sociopolitical development.Sponsored by: Psychology Program.

How Your Cooling Mug of Coffee Unites Quantum Particles and Black Holes!
A lecture by Rishabh Jha, Göttingen University
Friday, October 31, 2025 12 pm
Brody Lab - Hegeman 107 Why does your coffee always cool down, and what does this have to do with some of the most profound mysteries of the universe? How do isolated quantum systems thermalize, and how is this process fundamentally different from classical thermalization? If quantum mechanics is unitary and reversible, how can it ever reconcile with the extremely well-tested irreversible predictions of statistical mechanics, like your coffee cooling down? This talk introduces the concept of quantum thermalization and explores its deep connections with quantum chaos. Special attention is given to the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model, which offers a compelling framework for studying quantum thermalization and quantum chaos in the often inaccessible thermodynamic limit. Finally, we highlight surprising connections between the SYK model and black hole physics, illustrating how quantum chaos and thermalization provide a window into fundamental questions in quantum gravity.Sponsored by: Physics Program.
